Chapter 089: Such a trench, there is a mine at home
The two of them trekked down the hill until they reached the nearest village.
The village is not big, and when Liu Fuyun and the others came down, they saw a group of women sitting at the entrance of the village while weaving straw sandals and chattering, and looked at the road they were walking on from time to time.
Presumably, the men of the village have gone up to the mountains to dig traps and hunt tigers, leaving behind a group of women who are worried about their families simply waiting here.
Seeing that someone had come down from the mountain, the women all stopped what they were doing and looked this way, and when they saw that it were two strangers, they looked at each other with some surprise, and then withdrew their gaze.
There are very few outsiders in this place, but not ever. Crossing this West Mountain is the closest route from Yishui to the past, so you will usually see some passers-by.
The reason why I glanced at Liu Fuyun and them more was because this combination of the old, the young and the young was very peculiar.
These two people were lucky not to have encountered the pair of tigers.
The village chief's daughter-in-law, who was the most powerful of all these women, put a pair of freshly knitted straw sandals in the frame next to her, and when she looked up, she saw the aunt opposite her winking at her.
Looking back with some confusion, she saw the beautiful girl walking towards her.
Standing up, the village chief's daughter-in-law looked at Liu Fuyun with a little vigilance.
"Hello auntie, I would like to ask you personally." Liu Fuyun pulled out a light smile, and a beautiful face easily let the simple villagers unguard themselves. "My brother was separated from us on the mountain, he was dressed in white and had two swords, he was very handsome, and he didn't like to talk. Have you ever seen such a person? ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law barely hesitated when she heard this, and shook her head with certainty.
There were very few outsiders in the past two days, not to mention that according to the girl's description, the man must be a very eye-catching kind, she couldn't have been unaware.
"I haven't seen it. Girl, did you come down from this mountain? It's too dangerous, there are a pair of man-eating tigers on the mountain! When did your brother separate from you? Hearing that he had been separated from his relatives, the crowd suddenly gathered around him and began to talk in a gossipy manner.
"That tiger can be fierce and tight, if your brother is still in the mountains, it will be troublesome!"
"yes, yes, I dug so many traps and couldn't catch those two brutes, scary!"
Yang Lao glanced back at the sack hanging on the trot, and was relieved to see that the chicken he picked up before was not revealed.
"The men of our village have gone up the hill to dig traps, and they may be able to meet your brother. Why don't the girl take this old man to my house first, and wait for them to come back and ask? The village chief's daughter-in-law waved her hand to silence the others, and said to Liu Fuyun.
"No need, thank you, Auntie. There are still things at home that are inconvenient to delay, if you see my brother descending the mountain, please inform him of my whereabouts and my grandfather's whereabouts, so as not to be separated. Liu Fuyun said as he unloaded a small bag containing broken silver from his waist and put it in the hands of the village chief's daughter-in-law.
"Eh, eh, you can't do it!" The bag was heavy, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was startled and hurriedly stuffed things back. "Don't worry, girl, if you see your brother, you will definitely tell him, take it back."
Liu Fuyun dodged the hand of the village chief's daughter-in-law, took two steps back and walked back to the trot. She raised her head in the direction of the tree not far away, and said, "Buy them something to eat." ”
Behind the tree, a few children were looking curiously, afraid to come forward because the adults had told them to keep their distance from strangers.
Seeing this, the system said in a very reverent tone: "Host, you are so kind! ”
Liu Fuyun rolled his eyes and ignored it.
She doesn't have anything to do with kindness, she just acts according to her mood.
"Then I thank the girl on behalf of the whole village, the girl is such a good person!" The village chief's daughter-in-law didn't let much, she held the money bag in both hands and bowed to Liu Fuyun, very moved.
Nodding, Liu Fuyun led the horse away with a meaningful smile from Elder Yang.
After they walked away, the village chief's daughter-in-law opened the money bag in her hand, and was immediately frightened by the broken silver of the white flowers and almost threw the things out.
Seeing this, the other villagers all came over, all of them shocked.
So much silver taels is already a huge amount of money for them. The girl was just to ask them about a personal message, and she might not actually meet her brother.
"When they come back, they have to make a good calculation, and if not, organize people to go into the mountains to find them." You can't get so much silver in vain. When the time comes, we will divide each family and buy something. ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law's words won the support of everyone, and the women sat back and continued to weave straw sandals, with more smiles on their faces than before.
I found a horse for Yang Lao at the nearest post station, and the old and the young went to Liufu.
"Okay, little girl, it's quite generous."
Yang Lao walked to Liu Fuyun's side with his horse's belly and said slightly teasingly.
If you inquire about the individual, you will give so many silver taels, and you will be a boy who scatters money.
Liu Fuyun said slowly: "There is a mine at home. ”
"What?" Yang Lao Leng didn't understand for a while.
"It's nothing, it's time for dinner in a minute, we need to hurry." Liu Fuyun tightened the reins as he spoke, and trotted up to speed and ran forward.
Somewhere in the mountain, five male villagers were digging a pit in the ground, completely oblivious to the approaching danger.
The bushes not far away shook and shook, and the man closest turned his head to look at him suspiciously.
"What's wrong, Xiao Liu?" The old man who reminded Liu Fuyun before stood up straight with a shovel, rubbing his sore waist and looking at the man.
"Uncle, did you hear anything?" The man known as Xiao Liu looked intently at the bush and asked.
His words made the other three also stop digging the pit and all looked in his direction.
"What sound?" The uncle's expression was serious, and his heart began to get nervous.
Xiao Liu said with some uncertainty: "There seems to be something in the grass." ”
The bushes were small, so they weren't worried about tigers. It's just a subconscious fear of the unknown.
"I'll take a look." Among the group was a tall, dark-skinned young man who was also the leader of the team and the eldest son of the village chief.
He walked cautiously with his shovel and brushed away the pile of bushes.
A pheasant jumped out with flapping wings and ran away in panic.
"Hahaha, it's a pheasant!" The young man breathed a sigh of relief and laughed out loud, put the shovel on his shoulder, and chased in the direction of the pheasant's escape: "Look at me, catch it!" ”
The eldest uncle hurriedly spoke to stop him: "Xiao Wang, come back quickly, beware of danger!" ”
